In this digital age, everyone has the opportunity get their voice heard online, to “join the conversation,” which companies are constantly exhorting us to do. But without smart listening and content creation, all this “conversation” runs the risk of simply adding to already cluttered “airwaves,” as it were… and being completely and utterly ignored.

How do you get around this? By taking it slow… and the first step to that is smart listening. Listening to what’s important to your audience, listening for who is participating in these conversations, listening for who drives these conversations…. listening is truly the way to your audience’s heart.

The great thing about smart listening is that it moves you from talking at your audience to talking with them. Far too many organizations still engage in the former. In 2016, that’s more than a little mind-boggling. But if you do the latter – that’s where the true magic of digital communications as a bridge to community begins.
